    I wish I could have a room curtain cuz the sunrise was too strong to keep me sleep in the morning…

    I love the activities the staff organized for us. It was fantastic! I made a lot of friends through the events. Thank you!!!

    Nothing, I love everything

    Onefam Hostel in London is an incredibly cosy place. It’s perfect for solo travellers looking to make great friends. I had the opportunity to visit twice, and each time, I was treated exceptionally well. "Onefam" truly feels like a big family. If you're staying at this hostel, your days in London will be filled with happiness and lots of laughter. It’s a magical place. However, there’s one thing you should know... no matter how many days you stay, you’ll never want to leave. Thank you, Onefam (and the wonderful team), for giving me two perfect stays.

    Because of the condition of the building the showers are really small and sometimes busy a bit. I think it would be good to prepare yourself for this and take shower not really in busy times. Apart from that, everything was good.

    The hostel has an amazing atmosphere for solo travelers with their dinners, drinking games, daily tours and parties all together. The beds were enough to rest for the night and everyone was too friendly to whole time. The facilities (kitchen, toilets, and common area) are great.

    Nothing! For a hostel, everything was available and easy to use. I can’t think of anything negative !

    After spending three nights at this hostel, I am happy to leave a full score review here for it ! I simply loved the place. The hostel has a very special inviting vibe, and makes you want to get to know other people, especially over the trips to the markets of London, the free dinner (which was perfect for a vegetarian person like me), the drinking games and bar outings which enable you to bond with other guests as well as the staff. The place was really clean, which is something I worry about a lot usually when I travel, but this was very well taken care of, which I really appreciated. Some particular points I enjoyed and I would like to point out : - I arrived earlier than my check in time, and Dan was so sweet to help me put my luggage in a safe spot until check in time. - After I checked out, I stayed at the hostel because I was working remotely that day, and everyone was super sweet and friendly regarding that. They allowed me to work in a dedicated space, which really meant a lot to me. - Lastly, I have to mention the staff again and again!! What a lovely group of people!! Dan, Ryan, Maya, Meg, Bert, and everyone else !!! You are amazing, thanks for making me feel like a part of your family during my short stay! Looking forward to seeing London (and you) again soon!

    It is an excellent place to socialize, additionally it is close to everything, the subway is an 8-minute walk away and the most incredible of all they offer a free vegetarian dinner at night, that saved my days since I didn't have much time to eat, I went out for a night out with the travelers from the hostel and it was incredible. Highly recommended!!

    The rooms are only mixed and I struggled to find a space to comfortably change away from all the men in my room (I was the only woman with 4-5 men). The toilets are tiny and there are no toilet covers or hangers, no hangers or shelves in the shower rooms and no way to change in the room, as the guys were always there. Maybe there are more suitable spaces for that, but I haven't found them (only 1 night stay). But also shouldn't be that difficult to install a shelf of a hook in the bathroom.

    The location of this hostel is fabulous. Right by Westminster, so well connected. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the beds are super comfortable.

    I had a great stay at Onefam Waterloo Hostel! When I first walked in, my name was on a welcome board and Jo at the front desk was super friendly and helpful. They offered to put my bags in storage before check-in so I could go into the city without lugging them around. The rooms were nice and had a storage locker in them. Everyone that stayed and worked at the hostel were so friendly and respectful to each other. The hostel also offered free dinner, guided day activities, and a group to go out at night with! It was very clean, very fun, and had a certain sense of community about it. I would recommend Onefam Waterloo to anyone visiting London!

    !!! Never go to this Hostel !!! Have you ever ventured into the realm of hostels? Have you ever shared a space with eight strangers, each harboring a tale waiting to be unveiled? Have you ever gathered around a table with fifty souls from every corner of the globe, united by the simple joy of companionship? Have you ever danced into the wee hours with twenty newfound friends, etching memories to last a lifetime? No? Neither had I. As you step through the threshold, you're not just greeted by walls and beds, but by William, a charismatic Brazilian ready to infuse your stay with unforgettable moments. Come morning, behind the reception desk, you won't find just a receptionist, but a radiant smile, eager to ensure your day starts on the perfect note. And then there's Ollie, your guide to the best museums and the vibrant cultural scene, always ready to engage in enriching conversations and provide insights into the city's history and art. Dan will be like your Welsh brother, ensuring each moment is extraordinary. With his warm smile and attentive eye, he orchestrates seamless adventures. Passionate about hospitality, he's committed to your satisfaction, making him indispensable. Meet Bert & Olivia, a duo with stories aplenty, ready to regale you with tales that will make your nights as vibrant as London. With Bert's infectious enthusiasm and Olivia's charming wit, they'll ensure your nights are as lively and unforgettable as the city's bustling streets. Meet Thomas, Bobby, Meg, Squid, Jo, Julian, Ryan,… the eclectic ensemble that completes this vibrant team. So, if you've ever entertained the thought of staying in this hostel, heed this warning: it's not merely a place to lay your head, but a portal to a world of unforgettable encounters and lasting connections. Dive in, and who knows? You might just find yourself falling in love with a city, a stranger, or even a part of yourself you thought lost as a child.

    Beds are not so comfortable but it’s okay. If the shower has hot water it doesn’t have pressure, and if it has pressure it doesn’t have hot water. It takes long to taking a shower

    This was a great experience as a first time solo traveller. Staff is great people is great I love it and want to come again soon. It’s feel good to be a part of the Fam.
